Crazy Question

So I'm taking these weight loss pills and trying to eat right. Can I lose weight by not exercising? By just eating right and taking the pills, (lots of water too )?

    What pills are you taking? Why are you taking them? What does "eating right" mean?

    You lose weight by burning more calories than you eat. A significant amount of this burn comes from every day activities. Yes, you can lose weight by only eating less, without adding extra purposeful exercise.

    But exercise is good for you beyond just weight loss, and you can eat more and still lose weight if you add exercise.

    This is not a crazy question, but the pillz are crazy.. ditch them now.. And you do have to lift one finger in exercise if can't or do not want to..

    Eat less.. thats it..

    Weight loss pills don't have any real effect, at least not a weight loss effect, eating right can mean anything, you don't have to eat in a particular way besides a consistent calorie deficit to lose weight, you don't have to drink a lot of water, you can't just try, you have to do - but apart from that, no, you don't have to exercise to lose weight.

    You can lose weight by eating nothing but McDonalds. Weight loss comes from calories.

    Man loses 56 pounds after eating only McDonald's for six months

    You shouldn't do the McDonalds diet, and you probably shouldn't do no exercise either. But they're both possible.

    Why did you choose pills when eating right (and the correct amount) is all you need to do to lose weight? Do you enjoy adverse side effects like damage to your organs and anal leakage?

    Not pills but my favorite is "you're not fat you're just bloated take probiotics to remove pounds of sludge..."
    To the OP, think of it as simple math, when in deficit you must lose weight. It doesn't need to be a massive deficit either.

    Yep, it's a thing with some weight loss pills as they inhibit fat absorption...
